A QUEEN

DAENARYS

She dreams…

The dream scape is that of the Iron Throne and the main hall of the Red Keep. "What do you want from me now, Robb Stark of Winterfell?"

"I want to go home and live and peace, but those days are far away…You need an army."

Daenarys smiles, "I have an army."

"The Dothraki follow Khal Drogo…They follow strength…

"And what is stronger than a Dragon? What is fiercer than a Dothraki Screamer?"

Your Dragons are not old enough to make war…You must go to Astapor and buy the Unsullied…Eight thousand strong…And Princess remember…A Dragon takes what it wants…"

Daenarys awakens and over the next few days she thinks long and hard on what Robb Stark told her. Her Dragons, gave her a lot of strength with the Dothraki. Strength she did not wish to take away from her husband. They needed to be seen as equals and to do this; Daenaeys needed to make a show of strength.

It took some flirting from Daenarys and a dream from Robb to convince Drogo to allow his wife to travel to Astapor. Ser Jorah and Barristan went with her along with a hundred Dothraki guards. She also took a hundred Dothraki guards with her. They traveled by land Dany riding in a cart as she is three month pregnant.

The journey to Astapor takes a month and after a few hours of negotiations Dany and her Dothraki guards are allowed to enter the city. They are taken to the palace to meet Krazyns mo Nakloz. "Nothing like the swelling of a woman's tits when she is pregnant…Welcome her to our city and the Palace of Masters…" He says through his interpreter Missandei.

"Tell your Master that I thank him for his welcome." After some refreshments Dany and a few of her guards are taken to the training yards to see the Unsullied. Some are training and others stand at attention.

"Tell the White-Haired Bitch that these she see here have completed their training. They are four thousand strong."

"I was told that he had eight thousand Unsullied." Daenarys replies through the Interpreter.

"My Master says that the other four thousand are still training. They will complete their training in two more years. As babies the Unsullied are castrated, they feel no pain and are cleansed of all fears."

"All men fear something." Ser Jorah says.

"Ignorant Westerosi Knight…Tell the Andel to attend this…" Dany, Jorah, and Ser Barristan watch in horror as Krazyns walks up to one of the Unsullied, removes a dagger. He then proceeds to cut off the man's nipple. "Tell the bitch that it is hot out here…Does she wish to buy the Unsullied or not?"

"Tell your Master I want to buy all of them…The ones who have not completed their training as well."

"My Master asks how will you pay for them all?"

As part of the deal Dany asks for Missandei as well; after the deal is made Dany takes a tour of the city and walks along the docks where a few slaves are hanging by nails and ropes to poles. "Forgive me your Grace…But those Dragons are worth more than any army that walks the land."

She stops and looks at them, "Am I your Queen?"

"Yes your Grace." They both reply.

"Then obey me and do not question me. I am doing what I think is best." The next day Dany meets with Krazyns. She has her Dragon Drogon with her to trade for the Unsullied. The Dragon is named after her husband Drago. The trade did not go as Krazyns planned. Dany reveals that she can speak Old Valyrian and orders the Unsullied to slaughter the Masters, their soldiers, and to spare the women, children, and slaves.

"Rakharo!" He runs up to her, "Take fifty men, go to Khal Drogo and tell him what I have done. Tell him the Moon of his life awaist him in Astapor." She commands when the slaughter is done.

"I go Khaleesi."

A month passes before Khal Drogo arrives with the Horde. "Why?" He asks in his rough accented voice, speaking in the common tongue.

"You are Khal of Khals…I am the daughter of the Dragon. A Dragon takes what it wants. It does not bargain or beg of anyone."

"Even its own mate."

"I am to be a Queen…I am your wife…Your Khaleesi…A Khaleesi must be strong as her Khal; my Sun and Stars. If our son is to be the Stallion that mounts the world…His Empire begins with us."

Dany agreed that they should stay in Astapor until the baby is born. During the next four months she and Drogo rule Astapor. It is also during this time that the Dragons rapidly grow in size. Slavery in the city is outlawed and when a slave ship arrives, the slaves are freed, and the slave traders are arrested. A month after the baby Rhaego is born, Drogo and Dany make plans to march on Yunkai.

YUNKAI

The Yunkaish after learning what happened in Astapor prepare for war. First they send a gift of Horses to appease the Dothraki. The Horses are taken and the messengers killed. When they arrive at the city, Drogo and Dany find the Second Sons waiting for them. Eventually the Second Sons swear to serve the Khal and his Khaleesi. A trick by Captains Mero and Prendahl to get close to Drago and Dany. It is Naahario Daaharis who warns Missandei of their scheme. Daenarys orders the Unsullied to slaughter the Second Sons.

DAARIO

Daario is a bastard who joined the Second Sons at the age of ten and seven. A former pit fighter, many men had fallen to his sword. When he learned of his comrades plans he told Missandei. "So you are from the Summer Islands…How did you end up serving the Dragon Queen?" He asks walking with Missandei and a few guards through the palace. They had taken the city by storming the walls and climbing them with the Unsullied leading the charge. When the gates were opened Khal Drogo leads the charge into the city.

"I was taken from my home by Pirates and sold as a slave to Krazyns mo Nakloz. Queen Daenarys bought me or took me from him and gave me my freedom."

"So you can come and go as you please?"

"Yes!"

"And be with who you want as well?" He asks seductively.

Later in her room, they remove their clothes and make love multiple times. "So now what?" Missandei asks.

"What do you mean?"

"All men want one thing from women. Now that you had it I suppose you will never speak to me again."

He smiles, "Most men want only one thing from a woman. Until they find thee woman. I know that from the moment I saw you…I had to have you. I never considered the future until now. All my life has been survival and living at the point of a sword. Now I want more…Much more."

Eventually Daario is made a commander in the Unsullied forces. He convinces Asher Forrester and his friend Beskha leaders of the Lost Legion to join the Dragon-Horse Army.
